Answer 1

my oldest daughter started kindergarten monday and i thought my heart was gonna burst.....i feel so empty now but how you feel is normal you feel that way because you love him so much that you dont want him to go up i feel the same way why cant they stay babies forever :(  

Answer 2

What are you nervous about?? This is going to be wonderful for him! He's going to get to carry a cool lunch box, go to school with "big" kids, make a bunch of new friends, get invited to birthday parties, get loved on by a sweet teacher, play on a fun playground, learn to read, visit the school library...what's not to love?

Be excited and thrilled for him. If it's YOU you are worried about, be a room mom, a library volunteer, a PTA mom. There are plenty of ways you can be involved. Once the school finds out you are willing to help, you'll be innundated with requests for your time.

This will be a great time for both you and your boy.

Yes, it's normal.  My youngest son just started kindergarten today and I walked in the house crying after the bus left and then went back to bed.  He has always been my baby and I also had a very hard time with the thought of him starting school.  I have 3 other boys, so I've been through this before, but he was the last one left at home.  Not to mention, I'm pregnant and a little more emotional than usual.  I know my son will do fine and yours will too.  I think it's a lot harder on us mommies than it is on them.  I made sure not to tell my little guy how much I would miss him and only talked about this new experience in a positive way.  He is more than halfway through his first day now and just knowing that makes me feel better.  I miss him and wish I could give him a cuddle right about now, but as he's told me more and more lately, he's growing up and doesn't need all those cuddles!  Don't worry, you will adjust and things will be great.  Kindergarten is actually a lot of fun.  Best of luck.

Answer 4

Its normal Mom. My grand daughter just went to sixth which is middle school here and her Mom cried. So you have a few more first I promise.

I think we all cried on Kindergarten day!

Answer 5

I think it is normal.  Your little boy is growing up =)  Look at it this way, atleast you have all the fun school things to look forward to like school plays and such =)  

good luck!
